Adviser Training

Advisers may receive Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for participating in the Institute and in regional workshops.

A four-course endorsement plan, put into effect by the N. C. Department of Public Instruction, and offered in conjunction with NCSMA and the UNC-CH School of Journalism and Mass Communication, allows teachers to train themselves for their journalistic tasks, while earning their hours of graduate credit for each course. Courses that may be taken are "Journalism Education in the Secondary School," which trains advisers for their tasks with newspapers, yearbooks, magazines and desktop publishing; "Legal Issues in Scholastic Journalism"; "Journalistic Writing and Editing"; and "Desktop Publishing in Scholastic Journalism." Fellowships are offered to advisers to help them offset course expenses.

Two courses are offered each summer as two-week, short-term courses. Two are offered online - one in the fall semester and one in the spring. Carolina Courses Online coordinates these online courses.
